3 / Hyde Park Street Fair – Event Coordinator RFP
Summarized discussion that took place at the committee meeting that took place at 6pm, just prior to this meeting. Board feels that the RFP should be awarded to Gruntwerks. This decision is based on successful HPSFs for the last several years as well as the price Gruntwerks is asking for compared to the other applicants.
Board passed the decision to award the RFP to Gruntwerks for 2017-2019 with changes to the current contract. Changes will include: an insurance clause and moving forward a member of the NENA board will help lead a HPSF committee with Gruntwerks participation. This committee will identify key success indicators and will focus on these areas to measure each fair’s successes.
Josh will work on next steps to organize this committee. / Board
